Gofastnismo, yes the first drawing is this Friday 2/10.
Csantos84, I agree with Gofastnismo that there will be many, many more entries than you can imagine. That's at least in part because everyone gets 10 entries just for swiping their card each day.
Reading the complete rules is always required reading. Casinos have been pretty good about making them available, but I don't see them on the Stations website yet. Just this: http://www.stationcasinos.com/promos/car-a-day/
